Obama administrations first misstep?

[DarkReign]

I guess cons utionalist is the new neocon.

Like Bush Jr./Gingrich/Bush Sr./Reagan/Nixon were Cons utionalists?

It's a traditional GOP brand.

The fake reunion with concern we are being treated to right now seems wary and half-hearted to me.

[RandomGuy]

Obama cannot screw up to these types of people.

Sigh.

The very existance of a thread from an Obama supporter proves the above statement is wrong, doesn't it?

Are you trying to look like a re , or is it not an act?

[Winehole23]

Take it easy on FreeMason, RG, he's just a pup. All bark, no bite.

[ClingingMars]

In a previous political universe it would have been a fatal handicap.

and it still is. to those with a brain.

you appoint him to whatever you want, but Treasury Secretary? really? there wasn't another open position?

Are all of the above neocons?

Are all of the above neocons?

Boy I could say something a long winded and interesting about the progression (or decline) of conservatism. I'm too lazy so I'm going to go take a bong hit instead, but if I weren't, I'd be dropping knowledge straight out my undergrad theory of ideology text.

In short, Bush 2 was a neocon and the ultimate result of the southern strategy.

I would say Reagan and on were. I'll get skewered for that, but they played the same game with the same agenda for 30 years.

Except Gingrich. Hes alright.
